Power Management:
Phones, access points, printers
and other devices adapt to user
needs in real time to lower
power consumption.

On-boarding:
Users security and network policy
is controlled by HR and every user
network can be unique.

Move, Add, Change:

Users can relocate themselves
within policy without IT support.

Data Flexibility:
Storage is attached to Ethernet
and granted priority when
bandwidth contention occurs.

Network Security:
Network integrates with universal
threat management to enable users
and shun threats.

Physical Security:
Video surveillance, motion
detection, and property access
integrated on a converged network.
